A Great Victory
A Terrible Case Of Scrcfula
Cured by
Hoods SarSaparilla

"In the winter OF 1879 / was attacked with
Scrofula in one Of The most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
Assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually eIuding an offensive mass OF
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. II Is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh- After
three years Of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, I was worse than ever
Finally, on the Recommendation Of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, Of Lockport, / was induced
to try Hoods Sar,Iaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the Assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less ] do not know what u may
have done for others, but ! do know that in
my ease, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
effective SPECIFIC indeed. As an evidence OF
INV gratitude I send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity OF
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it." CHARLES A. ROB

Episode of High Life.-One o

Episode Of High Life.-One of
the best jokes of the season occurred the
other day at coax View" A venerable
couple from this county were visiting
friends near President Cleveland's
country residence in the District of
Columbia. Mr.. Cleveland is very soci-
able ard is pleased to have his neighbors
neighborly and TO call frequently. Dur
ing the sojourn of our county folks they
went over TO pay their respects to the
farmer President and statesman. Three
days after the visit our Jefferson friend
discovered that he had exchanged hats
with the President, and Mr.. Cleveland
was not aware Of the swap until the
Jeffersonian called again and assured
the nations chief that he had not come
for office, but only to bring back his hat.
Grover shook his fat sides with hearty
laughter, and declared himself quite
satisfied with the exchange. rs Mr.. AS
hat was quite new, while his own was
decidedly the worse for the wear dur
ing his tramp through the Adirondacks.
After pleasant chat on the porch
the Jeffersonian babe the President
hearty good by, and left with
Mr.. Clrveland's promise to be mindful
OF his invitation to come to see him in
West Virginia. Either way the Presi-
dents hat got Il good head in it.-Chdrles

Case Decided.-In the L. S. Dis
trict Court at Wheeling, Friday last,
Judge Jackson rendered a decision in
the case Of Hiram l.. Opie'S heirs vs.
Henry w. Castleman and others, which
has been pending since 1881. In 1856
Opic sold Castleman a farm in Jefferson
county. then Virginia, now West Nir-
ginia, giving notes for $4,000 deferred
payments. During the war the execu-
tors of Opie's estate accepted payment
in deprecated Confederate currency,
and this suit is to declare those pay
ments void. Judge jackson holds that
the action of the executors was illegal
because the money was invested in Con.
tolerate bonds Issued 10 wage war
against the United States, and because
in accepting deprecated currency
they did not carry out the decedent's
understanding of the contract.

a Narrow Escapc.--Little Caro-
May Roller, the beautiful little child Of
Rev R. ID. Roller, had a narrow escape
from a shocking death, during her visit
to Harrisonburg, Va, during the sum-
mer. The little thing had, without the
knowledge Of her parents, gotten out Of
the yard gate, went TO the railroad and
started 70 60 across the track. When in
the middle Of it, she saw an engine and
train bearing down upon her, and, par
alyzed with fear, stood still, with hands
raised. The engine was within a very
few feet OF the child when young col
ored man named Moffett Cochrane
leaped over the pilot in front of the en-
CINE, seized the little girl, and fell rather
than ran to the opposite side of the track.
Other .bystanders were so completely
Mortified at the situation that they
turned away to avoid seeing the dread
catastrophe, which it seemed impossible
to avoid, and the dear little child would
have met horrible death but for the
heroism and presence of mind OF the
colored man -Martinsbrg Statesman.
